Dental Component for HCHS (NIDCR)

西班牙裔社区健康研究(HCHS)/拉美裔研究(SOL)是一项为期6.5年的研究，由四(4)个实地中心和一(1)个协调中心组成。每个现场中心将对4000名研究参与者进行检查和跟踪。NIDCR为该项目提供资金，以支持规划、实施和分析从参加HCHS/SOL的受试者收集的口腔健康/牙科数据。它规定，HCHS/SOL检查应以与国家卫生统计中心开展的NHANES研究的牙科部分相同的方式进行。虽然并非所有的NHANES口腔测量都包括在HCHS/SOL检查中，但所包括的那些组成部分遵循NHANES协议，以便这些数据可以与国家调查结果进行比较。HCHS/SOL审查员通过NHANES方法进行培训和校准。

The Hispanic Community Health Study (HCHS)/Study of Latinos (SOL) is a 6.5 year study made up of four (4) field centers and one (1) coordinating center. Each field center will examine and follow 4000 study participants. The NIDCR provides funds for this project to support the planning, implementation and analysis of oral health / dental data collected on subject participants enrolled in the HCHS/SOL. It was specified that the HCHS/SOL exam be conducted in the same manner as the dental component of the NHANES studies run by the National Center for Health Statistics. While not all of the NHANES oral measures are included in the HCHS/SOL exam, those components that are included follow the NHANES protocol so that these data can be compared with national findings. The HCHS/SOL examiners are trained by and calibrated using NHANES methodology.
